Disappearances of people have exponentially grown in Mexico since 2006.
“Disappearance” implies that government agents or private citizens have
illegally deprived people of their freedom. The bodies of the murdered victims
are rarely found; if found, it is nearly impossible to identify them.

of these groups. This group has created a collection of photographs portraying
some of the victims and family members.
